When children have time to move, they are more available for learning. These yoga mats and blocks, specifically designed for young children, will allow for daily yoga and mindfulness practice for 20 kindergarten students. They will also serve as a flexible seating option for students during whole group meetings, literacy and math centers.
Students come into kindergarten ready to learn, move and play but often struggle with self regulation. Carving out time for activities such as yoga, mindful movement, guided dance, morning meeting and purposeful play are essential in order to meet the needs of the whole child.
The teacher, an avid yogi and fitness instructor, will use these materials to guide students in mindful movement activities. Through daily yoga practice, a culture of kindness and caring will grow. Students will enhance social emotional skills related to self-regulation, self-awareness and responsible decision making. Students will also be more available to learn critical academic skills.
